Can owners clarify when the safety features of the R1T are enabled?
As I understand it, there are 3 levels of safety/drivers assist:
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Park Assist
Blind Spot Warning
Collision Mitigation (basically, FCW & emergency braking)
Lane Departure Warning
Lane Keeping Assist – is this enabled/disabled easily or is it deep in the menus?
I know they list more conditions for each of these to be enabled in the UG, just trying to verify I understand which need ACC or HWA to be on as well. I assume that the first 3 or 4 are always on. My biggest concern is around Collision Mitigation – I hope that emergency braking is always on but I just can’t tell. The last 2 seem like maybe they are only enabled through ACC or HWA? But it’s not clear to me through the UG.
If Collision Mitigation is always enabled like I hope, have people had phantom braking incidents without ACC or HWA being enabled? I really want the extra security of emergency braking, but would be very freaked out if it just occasionally slams on the brakes for no reason.
Thanks!
As I understand it, there are 3 levels of safety/drivers assist:
- Always enabled – just the basic safety systems they are always on (but subject to the conditions listed in the Owner’s Guide)
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) – you enable this with a single push down on the stalk
- Highway Assist (HWA) – you enable this with 2 fast pushes down on the stalk
